This is a timely thread for me. I came here looking for the answer to that same question. We found a pea egg on May 1st and stuck it in the incubator to see what would happen. Our free-ranging peafowl have chicks every year, but we figured it wasn't fertile since it was laid in the back of a...

Wow! Thanks all for your answers and good advice! I am feeling very prepared now. Sweet. Maria

Thanks, Tony! I am sooo looking forward to this. It sound like it will be a blast! Again, forgive my ignorance, but there's no order the vendors are set up in, right? Like, all the chicken vendors in section A, goat folks in B, and so on. It strikes me that is probably not how these things work...

Hi! My name's Maria and I've probably been a trolling member for more than a year, but I never got around to saying hi. I've incubated eggs and bought started pullets for others, but I'm getting ready to build a coop for my own flock now. Looking forward to picking some brains, tho it seems...
